# storytold/artcraft

> ArtCraft is a desktop IDE for AI image and video creation: compose in 2D, stage scenes in 3D, and choose models for precise, repeatable results.

- Magnitude: 6.1 out of 10 — Breakout
- Stars: 2,380 total · +24 stars measured 2026-10-05, 10:59–12:33 UTC, ≈ 62 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Generative media · Language: Rust · Created: 2022-03-31 · Last push: 2026-10-05

## Useful for

- Block a scene with 3D asset kits and set the camera before generating a shot
- Transfer a character onto a prepared background while keeping pose and identity
- Generate a video from an image by picking a suitable video model

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-05 (UTC), 10:59–12:33: 2356 → 2380 stars (+24). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +62 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 27× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending Rust today: #8, +177 stars.
- Hacker News: “ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust” — 104 points, 13 h ago.
- About 10 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-05 12:40 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
